October already?

Boogs keeps asking me how many days until Christmas vacation. He wants time to speed up, I want time to slow down. We have been enjoying our first bits of cool air in central Texas, the air conditioning is not running ALL day and night. Boogs spends every possible second he can hanging out with the neighborhood kids.

What's keeping us busy?

Swimming - we hung out at our neighborhood pool as much as we could before it closed for the season on September 30th.
Boogs is really improving his technique (not in this picture) with year-round swim team practices.
This weekend, Boogs participated in a swim meet for his year-round swim team. He improved his times from last year.
He remembered to go for a two-hand touch at the end of his butterfly swim.




Tang Soo Do - Boogs received his first stripe on his belt. He is very proud of this accomplishment.

Library Explorer Club - with the change in days for swim team practice, Boogs has been able to go back to the Explorer Club at our local library.
We have been spending a lot time outside. The weather is nice enough to eat dinner on the back porch. I found this gigantic badminton set. Look at the size of that birdie. It is soooo much easier to use than the real one. We love it!

    1. I think he had finally found a couple of sports that suit him well.

  2. Looks like you've had a busy time, it's great to see Boogs keeping up with his swimming and getting better at it as the time goes by. That badminton set is massive, would fit really well here on the farm though! Thanks for coming along and linking up with me on Country Kids.

    1. I don't know what we would do all summer if we didn't have swimming pools close by.
